was telling the carolina panthers to make sure they had better be on the plane to get to kansas city for the game, i am not the sure how anyone can criticize bob costas for not waiting a respectful enough time to talk about the issues surrounding this tragedy. >> bill: one of which is the fact he had a gun. right? and was able to use it? >> zirin: all of the guns legally in the house. let me put all of my cards on the table here from the very beginning. i absolutely respect and defend bob costas's right to speak about this issue. frankly, i think that the decision of fox and cbs to not mention the issue at all, not to mention -- they didn't mention cas andra perkin's name or javon belcher's name. there was oblique reference to the suicide before the game. fox chose not to mention it at all. the fact that on nbc obvious costas had a real discussion about it, i thought, was brave and admirable, specifically because i don't think fox realized to not talk about it is a political choice, too. you are saying something about perspective, something about the value of human life all of that b
